For several months, concerned citizens in the Sandy Creek area of Lake Martin have come before the Tallapoosa County (Ala.) Commission voicing their opinions on the proposed Camp Margaritaville development that may be constructed just off Young’s Ferry Road in Dadeville, according to The Outlook.
Although the land has not been purchased yet, residents are in the fourth month of bringing the matter to the attention of the commission.
In previous commission meetings, both Shane West and Matt Campbell have spoken, as well as Dave Maddox, president of the Homeowners Association of Sandy Creek at Lake Martin, citing reasons the development would be bad for the area, with a focus mainly on overcrowding on the water, inadequate infrastructure and concerns about sewage.
District 2 Commissioner Steve Robinson said the commission was aware of the risks associated with the development, but noted that the group cannot provide residents with information if it doesn’t have it.
“There are 41,000 people in this county and each of us represents 8,200 people,” Robinson said. “But at this juncture, we need more information as well.”
